First sentence: When we look backward a few verses at the story of Cleopas and the other disciple on their way to Emmaus, we see that Jesus met them on the road, talked with them, and had supper with them. But they didn't recognize Him.
Description: Acts of Faith picks up the story of Jesus, from Marking God's Word, after Jesus' death. The story of the misunderstanding of the gospel among those who personally knew Jesus continues in the ministry of the Apostle Paul, who was knocked off his high horse and thrown to the ground against his will and born again by the power of the Holy Spirit. Paul came to see that he had been completely blind, and had his eyes miraculously opened by the Lord of glory.

Paul — formerly the chief enemy of Christ, who became the chief disciple — took up the ministry and perspective of Jesus and began preaching the message of Christ to anyone who would listen. But Paul had the same difficulties that Jesus had — people thought he was crazy, that he didn't know what he was talking about, that he had gotten the gospel message wrong. Paul was hounded to death by the enemies of Christ, just as Jesus had been. What you will find in these pages is not a new perspective on Paul, but a very old one.
